Los Angeles’s Best New Restaurants Of 2017 - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Lodge has technically been open in Culver City since 2015, but it wasn’t until this year that they evolved from a tiny space making bread and a few toasts to a full restaurant serving breakfast, lunch, and (early) dinner. Which makes a lot of sense, because there’s no reason not to eat here for every meal of the day. Between the shakshuka in the morning, hummus and pita at lunch, white pizza for dinner, and child’s-head-sized cinnamon roll any damn time, you could close your eyes and point at anything on the menu and walk away happy. This is the kind of place you instantly want to hang out in, and start coming up with all kinds of excuses to do so." - jess basser sanders, brant cox
